I told her I was drawing the line at playing "Bat Out of Hell" on the boat as I felt that that would send the wrong message.

And that message would be...?

Donate what's possible, cremate what's left. I'd like to be scattered in the mountains, but whatever works for whomever is left to deal with such. Just no display--unless my survivors feel deeply about it--and no taking up space afterwards.

And that message would be...?

That I think of my mother as a spawn of hell.

I want to donate to the Body Farm. It will make me happy to rot for crimefighting.

That I think of my mother as a spawn of hell.

I'm confused, is that song one that she suggested or did it just occur to you that it would be a bad idea?

V. weird walk tonight. In good things - Darb approach me when I was crouching down for the first time ever. I was picking up her poop, so not really the ideal time for dog kisses. @@

Then we turn a corner on to a main street and - whoa. People. Tons and tons of people, all walking the same direction. She was kind of freaking. So was I, a little. This isn't Michigan ave. Hundreds of people, all walking the same direction. It was like 9/11. I don't mean that in an exaggeraty way - I lived on 16th street then and so everyone leaving the WH was walking up the street. Just masses of people all going the same direction.

[Obviously the mood and vibe were 100% different, there was clearly something going on but nothing wrong. Apparently Pitchfork was just ending). Still. Weirded me out.

Then we got home and the kids from next door were all over Darb which was freaking her out even more. But I calmed her down and made her stay a bit and talked to the kids about how she gets a little scared if you go too fast ("cuz we're crowding her!" one of the little girls said).

Am home from CJ's test at the Denver dojo. There were 7 kids who had gone through the junior academy and were testing today. The written part of the test is basically pass/fail where pass is getting 100% right and fail is 99.9999999% and below. Only 3 kids passed. The 3 girls in the group. None of the boys passed.

CJ can retake the test in a month. He doesn't seem too upset, probably because he knew he had blanked out on a couple of the answers.

Now sees the flaw in going to bed at 8. Am pretty sure I need to nap today to get my sleep pattern realigned. Cats not helping.

Are you awake for the day at 3am msbelle?? Oh dear.

I took a three hour nap earlier, but am hoping that just means I'll get up at a decent hour tomorrow.

My weekend is so jacked up with work I'm at the ER a day early two hours early, but I've been sitting in the waiting room two hours anyway. Fie on this.
